PDP’s battery tech charges your Xbox One controller in 60 seconds

PDP’s new battery tech can charge your Xbox One controller in just 60 seconds.

A new battery and fast-charging dock claims to be able to give your Xbox One wireless controller 8 hours of play time on just a one-minute charge.

One of the biggest issues with our wireless controllers and lots of smart tech – the PS4’s DualShock 4 and smartwatches in particular – is the battery life.

We’re fed up of having to have a tethered controller while we charge them, or constantly having to buy new batteries.

However, on display at CES 2016, is PDP’s new technology that can provide eight hours of play on a single charge.

“In the past it has been about either your dry cell battery chemistries or your lithium ion or lithium polymers, but we’ve developer a new type of power pack,” said PDP’s Director of Product Development Christopher Dingle to Polygon. “[Our battery is] a physical reaction rather than a chemical reaction.”
